Ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) is a very important reagent for different types of organic reactions. It can be used to synthesize cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, triazoles and pyrazolines, and also for cycloaddition reactions, reactions involving transition metals, olefinations of aldehydes, when it is necessary to introduce an ester group in the molecule scaffold, and in processes like continuous flow methods. In summary, EDA is a first-choice reagent for many organic chemists in their daily reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
